The issue I have with this is not so much the trailer itself, but rather that it is just another MS reveal that is just so devoid of anything tangible for the audience. Like, if MS had done a better job of their new game showings this year, I wouldn't see this trailer as a problem. Like you said, it's to get the hype going. And that's a fair point because ultimately what these sort of trailers can do. But another one? It just feels so night and day compared to what Sony and Nintendo are doing. They aren't free of these sort of reveals either, but they have a lot more gameplay-esque reveals that do a better job of starting the hype cycle. I do believe they have a bombastic gameplay based event coming some time, so I do look forward to that, whenever it is. |
I cannot see the issue with announcing a game especially by surprising there customers without showing gameplay. We might be different here, I don't look at past or present trailers and think to myself "Hmm just another trailer" I see this as "We have a new PD in development! and it seems to be in really good hands with The Initiative."
I am also a huge Metroid Prime fan and all Nintendo showed was a heading, nothing else, even after 2 years.. it doesn't bother me as much as it would others, as long as i know its coming, that's all i need. Plenty to play and distract me until they arrivals.
